The Dr.Althea Reju 5000 Cream is a high-performance, regenerative moisturizer engineered to revitalize tired, aging, or damaged skin. The "5000" in its name refers to the inclusion of 5,000ppm of PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), a premium ingredient derived from salmon DNA known for its remarkable ability to stimulate cellular repair and collagen production. This cream acts as a "skin booster" in a jar, targeting fine lines, loss of elasticity, and uneven texture. Complementing the PDRN is a blend of peptides and hyaluronic acid, which work together to firm the skin's architecture while locking in deep hydration. Its rich yet non-greasy texture creates a protective moisture film, making it an ideal choice for those looking to restore a youthful, resilient glow to their complexion.

About Reju 5000 Cream

Overview

Reju 5000 Cream is a watery-light cream from Dr.Althea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 34 ingredients, each broken down in full below.

Texture and finish

By its ingredient list the formula reads as very light — essentially a water-and-humectant base with little emollient weight. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Panthenol and Butylene Glycol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.

What the formula does

Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol and Aminomethyl Propanediol.

Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate and Tocopherol.

Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Panthenol and Hydrogenated Lecithin.

Who it suits

On richness alone it suits Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.

What it does not target

The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, oil control, brightening and tone and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.

What is not in it

Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.

Where it fits in a routine

It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.

This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.

What to layer it with

Judged by the same curated rules our routine checker uses. It reads the ingredients, not the label.

Compatible with

  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
  • Retinoids (retinol, retinal)
  • AHAs (glycolic, lactic)
  • BHA (salicylic acid)
  • PHAs (gluconolactone)

Nothing in this formula belongs to a group our rules can put in conflict, so it layers freely. Order still matters — thinnest texture first.

Where it fits in a routine

Morning Evening
  1. Cleanse
  2. Toning
  3. Treat
  4. Moisturise
  5. Protect

This product is the "Moisturise" step.

  • Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.

Safety and suitability

Flags to check, not verdicts. None of this is medical advice — if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or treating a skin condition, ask a doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Nothing in this formula is on the standard pregnancy-caution list. That is not clearance — ask your doctor about anything you use daily.
Fungal acne (malassezia)
3 ingredients could feed malassezia: Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate. That is about the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that you will break out.
Sensitive and reactive skin
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
